1
Q
What is a diode
A
Semiconductor component that allows current only in one particular direction
2
Q
What is a light-emitting diode (LED)
A
Diode that emits light when it conducts electricity
3
Q
What is the I-V characteristic for a diode (or LED)
A
• Potential difference across diode is not directly proportional to current in diode
• Diode doesnt obey Ohm’s law
-non-ohmic conductor
- Resistance is not constant
- Behaviour is dependent on polarity
